HOBIT (Helmholtz Open BioInformatics Technology) statuscodes are used as extension to the established http status codes. These codes allows us to return more specific informations about the submitted job. E.g.: Instead of returning a http 500 code in case of error we can specify what's going wrong.

Statuscodes from 600 < 700 are non-error codes, a code 700 or higher is an error code.
